Thread Painted Butterfly (March 30 and April 6 from 1:30 - 3:30)

If you have been curious about thread painting but felt intimidated, this class is a great starting project; it is small and easily finished and looks more complex than it is!

This class will focus on  stitched designs and will involve some pre dyeing day homework, so please sign up early if you can (stitching takes time).
